FAQ

We start with your recent electric usage, your roof's solar potential (sun exposure, shading, layout), and your goals (lower bills, backup power, future EV). Then we propose a right-sized design and walk you through expected production, estimated savings, and next steps—so you can decide with confidence.

Often, yes—but it depends on your current utility rate, how much sunlight your roof gets, and how your utility credits exported energy. Our assessment shows the «before and after» in plain numbers, and we'll flag anything that could reduce savings (heavy shade, limited roof space, unusual rate plans).

As of July 2026, the IRS states the Residential Clean Energy Credit (26 U.S.C. §25D) is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. If you installed earlier, the IRS also notes unused credit can potentially be carried forward, subject to your tax situation. We're not tax advisors—please confirm eligibility with a qualified professional.

After you approve the design, we typically handle plans, permits, and utility interconnection paperwork. Your city/permit office and utility set the requirements and pace, so timelines vary. We keep you updated at each checkpoint, and we schedule installation only when approvals are in place.

Not always. Many homeowners start with solar-only to reduce grid purchases and add a battery later if they want backup power or more control over evening usage. If you do choose storage, the IRS describes qualified battery storage technology as having at least 3 kWh capacity (for years it was eligible). We'll help you compare practical benefits, not hype.
